Title: Offset and Cardi B’s divorce saga just took a bold turn—and now spousal support is officially on the table.
After months of legal back-and-forth and headline-grabbing social media drama, Offset has filed a new legal response to Cardi B’s divorce petition, this time with a major twist: he’s asking for alimony.
According to TMZ, the Migos rapper filed the amended paperwork earlier this month in Bergen County Superior Court in New Jersey. While most of his filing remains the same, the new addition is a request for an unspecified amount of spousal support—a move that has shocked fans and set social media ablaze.
Offset Seeks Alimony Amid Divorce Battle
Offset’s updated filing is his latest response to Cardi B’s divorce petition, which was filed in August 2024 after six years of marriage. While the divorce was originally described as “amicable,” the situation has clearly grown more tense in recent months.
Cardi initially sought primary custody of their two children—5-year-old daughter Kulture and 2-year-old son Wave—as well as their third child, who was unborn at the time of filing. Offset later filed for joint custody, asking that Cardi’s home remain the children’s primary residence.
Now, with Offset seeking spousal support, the divorce is moving into more contentious territory.
Legal Experts Weigh In
While it’s not uncommon for spouses to request alimony in high-profile divorces, fans were quick to express surprise that Offset—a successful artist in his own right—is asking for financial support from Cardi B, who is reportedly worth more than $80 million.
Legal experts say that spousal support in New Jersey is based on multiple factors, including the standard of living during the marriage, both parties’ earning potential, and the length of the marriage. With Cardi’s star continuing to rise—and Offset’s career appearing less dominant in recent years—the courts could potentially side with his request, depending on the numbers.
Social Media Shade and Heated Exchanges
What began as a quiet separation quickly exploded online in late 2024. In December, Offset lashed out at Cardi on Instagram, claiming she “look[ed] like the hoe” and was too focused on “d—.” Cardi clapped back almost immediately.
“So dating because I’m single means I’m just worried about d—?? You sound like a dummy,” Cardi posted, later adding: “F— off and sign the papers TODAY.”
The fiery exchange gave fans a raw glimpse into their off-camera tension. Since then, both have remained relatively silent on the divorce—until now.
A Rocky Road: Second Time’s the Charm?
This isn’t the first time Cardi has tried to end the marriage. Back in September 2020, she filed for divorce in Georgia but later reconciled with Offset just weeks later.
“It’s hard not to talk to your best friend,” Cardi admitted at the time during an Instagram Live. “And it’s really hard to have no d—.”
The couple pushed through several more years of ups and downs, including ongoing cheating rumors and public disputes. Cardi finally confirmed their split in December 2023, stating: “I’ve been single for a minute now.” She formally filed for divorce in August 2024.
What’s Next for Cardi and Offset?
Neither party’s legal team has publicly commented on the updated filing. But fans and followers are watching closely to see if Cardi will contest the spousal support request—or agree to a financial settlement to close the chapter once and for all.
With three children involved and millions on the line, the case is far from over. One thing’s for certain: this divorce is no longer amicable, and the stakes just got a lot higher.
